Looking at the room full of wonderful things, Zhou Hao was somewhat overwhelmed, glancing at her in bewilderment. He had never received so many things before.
But he quickly regained his composure and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Your Highness. I like them all.”
He was truly lacking in everything. While other princes had brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones to practice calligraphy, he could only pick up discarded wolf-hair brushes and practice writing on the ground with water. While other princes ate delicacies, he didn’t even know where his next meal would come from.
Therefore, he had no reason to be coy and refuse these things!
Mu Yunge had been observing Zhou Hao’s changing expressions. Seeing that he only showed surprise and bewilderment for a short while before returning to normal, she couldn’t help but sigh: Everyone in the palace is indeed shrewd. Zhou Hao is only six years old now, yet he can control his emotions so well. No wonder he will rise from this pitiful little thing to become emperor, even without Zi Ling’s assistance.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunge smiled happily again: “I’m glad you like it.”
Just then, a palace maid beside Mu Yunge bowed and whispered, “Ninth Princess, we should go back now. You’ve just recovered, so you should rest more.”
Mu Yunge nodded and then said to Zhou Hao, “Brother Hao, I’ll go back now. Remember to come visit me when you have time.”
Zhou Hao nodded indifferently, but in his heart, he thought: If I went to visit you, I wonder how the other princes would ridicule me.
However, seeing Mu Yunge’s small and adorable figure, Zhou Hao couldn’t help but secretly rejoice at his decision back then.
No wonder the Emperor and Empress doted on her so much. Although he hated this palace, he couldn’t bring himself to dislike her when he saw her smiling face.
…
Half a month later, Zi Ling’s injuries had almost fully healed.
When Zi Ling heard the other eunuchs and maids mention that Mu Yunge had visited Zhou Hao and brought him many gifts, she felt a sense of relief. This development was indeed the same as in her previous life.
Thinking of what happened afterward, a slight smile appeared on Zi Ling’s lips.
In her past life, although she was not implicated in the incident of the Ninth Princess falling into the water, she knew what happened to the Fourth Prince after the Ninth Princess gave him a lot of good things.
When the Fourth Prince, dressed in brand-new robes and carrying expensive calligraphy brushes and Xuan paper, went to the Imperial Academy for his lessons, the other princes quickly joined forces to tear his new clothes, rip the Xuan paper, and break his brushes.
The gifts the Ninth Princess had given him were subsequently completely destroyed by the other princes.
Thinking of this, Zi Ling immediately began using her connections to find writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, intending to send them to Zhou Hao after his gifts were destroyed.
However, Zi Ling was destined to be disappointed.
After Mu Yunge finished visiting Zhou Hao, the Emperor arrived.
After making Zhou Hao’s presence known to the Emperor, Mu Yunge pretended to be curious and looked at the chief eunuch beside him, saying, “Huh? Father, Brother Hao is wearing the same clothes as Eunuch Xiao Fuzi.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuzi’s expression changed slightly. Then he immediately said, “Ninth Princess is joking. How could I dare to wear the same clothes as a prince?”
The Emperor’s face darkened; he naturally understood what was going on.
But soon, he asked Mu Yunge, “Does Xiao Jiu’er like Xiao Si’er1四, sì: four / 4 ?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge nodded with a smile: “Brother Hao is a good person.”
The Emperor smiled, “Hahaha, he’s so young himself, yet he risked his life to save you; truly admirable.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, Xiao Fuzi knew that the Fourth Prince’s good days had arrived.
